Title: Voice of Korea 11710 kHz AM 1300 UTC 26 May 2018

1300Z 35433 S7 Music, starting off with their usual songs in the beginning followed by news & commentary in English and more music.

They've been coming in pretty decent as of late on 11710 and adequate on 9435. And the noise that was under their transmissions is much less (but not gone).

I made mention of this before, but for some reason VOK comes in best to North America in May. This is across all frequencies. You're more likely to hear beams intended for Europe and Asia this time of year than any other, not just those for the Americas.

Interestingly, I still have trouble with North Korea's other shortwave signals, although it's apparent that they're intended for regional broadcast for Northeast Asia only, probably intended for Koreans in China and Japan as well as the ROK and DPRK. I think that's in part due to the fact that many are very low frequency (2850, 3250, 3320, among others) while the one at 6400 is often buried by a STANAG signal.
